Chateau Flaugergues 2003

The bare label and simplicity of the Chateau Flaugergues 2003 from Languedoc-Roussillon, doesn't prepare you for a smooth and deep red. We suspect that it is astounding with cheese. In fact, Trine has just run out to grab more cheeses for us to experiment with!

The wine was extremely good with the food (pasta), a rich and full flavour that Trine in particular loved. We followed the meal with a sample of strong cheeses, both camenberg and brie which both worked really well with the wine.

However, it was not an 'evening' wine as after the meal it was far too heavy on the palate. So much so that I swapped back to Marsannay instead.
